Our main aim is to educate everybody so that perimenopause and menopause are properly understood.

We want women, and other individuals experiencing menopause, to understand the changes that are happening to them and know what to do next.

We want to make sure that family, friends, co-workers, employers and health care professionals have the information and resources to provide appropriate support.

We work to

  • Eliminate needless suffering by providing evidence-based information in a way that everyone understands.
  • Ensure everyone has equal access to appropriate treatment and support. So they have the tools they need to manage the mental and physical changes of perimenopause and menopause.
  • Replace existing stigma and social taboo with the view that menopause is part of our health journey. And, handled well, it can be the beginning of a positive new chapter in our lives.

Join us so together we can create a world where the menopause is understood, and no one needlessly suffers

I used to think that menopause was an age thing and now I realise it’s a woman thing. For far too long, there’s been a shroud of embarrassment, shame and fear around this topic, and this is where it stops! I’m supporting the Menopause Charity. It’s not sponsored by any pharmaceutical companies and it’s going to give honest and helpful advice to all women who are going through this difficult time of their lives.”

Michelle Griffith Robinson OLY

The menopause can be a lonely place. But, as I know from my athletics training – I represented Britain in the triple jump at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, and retired in 2006 – if you feel supported by someone who’s cheering you on, everything is easier.”

Lorraine Kelly CBE

Every time we mention menopause on the show there’s a big reaction. We need to keep banging the drum and keep it in the public eye, and make sure all women can access the help they need in every part of the country – and not just those who can afford a private doctor.”

Liz Earle MBE

I’d like everyone to feel supported, so no matter what the menopause may bring at least they feel armed with wise and accurate information. Since researching my menopause book, I’ve become ever more convinced of the overwhelming health benefits of hormone replacement therapy for the majority of women.”
